A systematic review of recorded technical settings used in bipolar and monopolar transurethral resection of bladder tumors

Abstract High-frequency (HF) surgery has been established in medicine for decades and is very popular transurethral (minimally invasive) surgery. However, the technical settings of generators are almost exclusively based on empirical data. So far, making a well-founded statement about possible impact parameters HF nearly impossible. Therefore, aim this research was to systematically review published data resection bladder tumor (TURBT) find out, whether publications consider both sufficiently, physical parameters. It shown that although reported, they have insufficiently considered analyses so far. Further must be performed.
